Chapter Forty-Three: Decision to Establish Authority

  Chen Qingxuan got off the car, not only did Hu Suolong see him, but Meng Shao, who was still fuming on one side, also saw him. Both of them hurriedly put on a dry smile and welcomed him with a pile of faces.

  Chen Qingxuan is a big shot, the boss of Shuizhongyue. The people he associates with are all high-ranking officials and top-notch tycoons. It's already very difficult to catch a glimpse of him from afar on normal days, so running into him today is simply an unexpected surprise.

  Chen Qingxuan didn't even look at the two of them, and directly walked to the car window, with a smile all over his face, looking at Wang Zhi inside, warmly asking: "Doctor Wang, what are you doing here? Did you run into some trouble?"

  Wang Zhi saw Chen Qingxuan and was somewhat taken aback, saying with some embarrassment: "I've encountered a bit of trouble, it's really laughable for General Manager Chen to see this."

  Chen Zuolong, who was standing beside him, saw Chen Qingxuan's enthusiasm towards Wang Zhi and could accept it, but Meng Shao's eyes were about to pop out. The boss of Shuizhongyue was so respectful to this young man... This... This... Han Shao couldn't understand it at all. With Chen Qingxuan being such an important person in Nanrao, how many people could make him so respectful? What was the background of this young man? Meng Shao wasn't stupid, but he didn't know that he had offended a big shot. His legs started trembling uncontrollably and he quickly ran to the side to call his father.

  Meng Changjiang had just finished taking a bath and saw that his son Meng Fei hadn't returned yet, so he immediately got angry and scolded his wife: "Look at you, teaching our son to be like this, causing trouble all day long, and now it's so late and he still doesn't know to come home. It's really 'a mother's indulgence spoils the child'!"

  Meng Changjiang's wife was applying a face mask at the time, and upon hearing her husband's scolding, she also became somewhat angry. She retorted in dissatisfaction: "Fei'er is grown up now, not a child anymore. You can't always be looking for his faults, finding fault with this and that. He is your son, don't you have any responsibility?"

  "You..." Meng Changjiang was suddenly choked with anger, pointing at his wife and unable to speak. It was also because he was too busy with work and had no time to discipline his son, which made him unmanageable all day long.

  Just then, Meng Changjiang's mobile phone suddenly rang. He picked it up and saw that it was his worrisome son calling. His anger surged, and he bellowed into the phone: "You ungrateful son, you still know to call back! From now on, just die outside, don't come back!"

  Meng Fei listened to his father's scolding and half a day later weakly replied, "Dad, I think I've made a mistake."

  "What?" Meng Changjiang was taken aback, his anger suddenly flying to the ninth cloud, and his heart suddenly lifted. Although he had spoken harshly earlier, it was just a fit of rage; now that his son really had trouble, he couldn't ignore it. After calming down, Meng Changjiang asked steadily, "What's going on? Tell me." He knew his son well, always reckless and impulsive, and wouldn't use such a tone unless he had gotten into real trouble.

  "It's like this..." Meng Fei quickly recounted what had happened, and after listening, Meng Changjiang was stunned, holding the phone in his hand, speechless for a long time. As the district head of Qingyang District, he knew more about Chen Qingxuan's abilities than Meng Fei and Hu Zhenyang. To put it bluntly, if Chen Qingxuan wanted to make trouble for him as the district head, he would be finished by tomorrow morning. But now, his son had actually offended someone who even Chen Qingxuan treated with great respect. This was a big disaster, and it might not be possible for him to get out of this unscathed.

  Meng Changjiang, who had seen the world, took a deep breath and said into his phone, "Stand still and don't move, put on a good attitude, I'll be there soon." He then quickly hung up the phone.

  Meng Changjiang's wife saw her husband answer the phone and immediately looked like she had lost her soul, anxiously asking: "What's wrong, what happened?"

  "What's going on? Your good son has gotten us into a huge mess this time!" After saying that, he let out a cold snort, grabbed his coat and hastily walked out.

  Chen Qingxuan roughly understood the situation from Wang Zhi's mouth, and after listening to it, he smiled casually and asked: "So, how does Dr. Wang plan to deal with it now?"

  "I don't know what to do, I'm just an ordinary doctor, with no power or influence, so I can only watch and see how the police handle it." Wang Zhi sighed and said. At this time, he had probably also guessed the reason for the sudden change in attitude of the director earlier. He looked at Chen Qingxuan again, and couldn't help but think that a simple VIP card from Shuizhongyue had such great power. This society is indeed very chaotic.

  Back in modern society for so long, Wang Zhi has always been calm and composed, not pursuing fame or wealth, just wanting to promote traditional Chinese medicine well, letting the country's thousands of years of wisdom not be buried. However, these few incidents have made Wang Zhi deeply understand that wanting to revive traditional Chinese medicine is not enough with just medical skills, but also needs a strong background and powerful energy, otherwise even a small-time crook or a mediocre loser can make trouble for oneself, making oneself an instant laughing stock.

  Wang Zhi's words were neither happy nor sad, and it was impossible to discern any meaning from them. It seemed like dissatisfaction, but also a kind of emotion. Chen Qingxuan was also somewhat at a loss for the time being. Although a small district head was not in his eyes, it would be difficult to handle this matter so that Wang Zhi would be satisfied and willingly owe him a favor.

  Just as Chen Qingxuan was considering how to deal with the situation in front of him, another car came over, and Meng Changjiang got out of the car and ran a short distance, shouting: "Director Chen is busy with important things, it's rare to see you."

  As for Meng Changjiang, Chen Qingxuan still had a few connections with him. This person didn't have much power, but he was still a straightforward person. It's just that his son wasn't very capable. Thinking of this, Chen Qingxuan turned around and took a look at Meng Fei, who had a joyful expression on his face. Suddenly, it became clear to him that this ignorant second-generation rich kid was actually the incompetent son of Meng Changjiang. No wonder Meng Changjiang rushed over so late in such a hurry.

  "Director Meng is still inspecting work so late, he's really dedicated." Chen Qingxuan said with a profound tone, although she had already guessed Meng Fei's identity but didn't expose it.

  "I'm afraid I've made Mr. Chen laugh, it's all because of my careless teaching, and now my son has startled you, this is really embarrassing." Meng Changjiang said with a smile all over his face, although Chen Qingxuan had no official position, but that aura was absolutely not inferior to the mayor of Nanrao City, when dealing with such a person, Meng Changjiang must be twenty percent more careful.

  "It didn't surprise me much, it just made Dr. Wang a bit unhappy." Chen Qing said calmly.

  "Doctor Wang." Meng Changjiang thought to himself, looking at Wang Zhi sitting in the police car, wondering when Nanyang had produced such a young and formidable figure, was he the young master of that family upstairs?

  "I apologize to Dr. Wang here, and I hope Dr. Wang will forgive me generously. Let's just drop the matter for now, and after I go home, I'll make sure to teach this unfilial son a lesson." Meng Changjiang hastily said with a smile.

  "It won't bother Director Meng, there are police here." Wang Zhi replied calmly, he had made up his mind that when doing things, one can't be too cautious. This society still has a privileged class, and since he wanted to revive traditional Chinese medicine, he must make a name for himself. The best way to do this was to establish authority, intimidate some people first, let them know not to mess with him, so that later on, things would go more smoothly. At this moment, the matter at hand was no longer important in Wang Zhi's mind, he thought it was necessary to frequently use his connections, otherwise many things couldn't be done. This matter could be considered as Wang Zhi's first show of authority in Nanrao, a small Jianghu wasn't his goal.

  Hearing Wang Zhi's lukewarm response, Meng Changjiang let out a sigh. It seemed that his son was unlikely to be spared this time. Nevertheless, Meng Changjiang still wanted to make some effort and couldn't just stand by and watch his son go in without doing anything.

  "I don't know what kind of relationship Dr. Wang and Secretary Li have, but I also have some connections with Secretary Li." Meng Changjiang said tentatively.

  "Secretary Li?" Wang Zhi said in a low voice, and only then did he remember that the municipal party secretary Li Shuqun was indeed surnamed Li. However, he had never met Li Shuqun before, and although he knew of Li Shuqun, it was unlikely that Li Shuqun knew him. Since Meng Changjiang said so, it should be Li Shuqun's person. Starting with the municipal party secretary's people was a bit too much, Wang Zhi thought gloomily.

  "Lei Shuqun, Dr. Wang probably doesn't know him, but if it's Secretary Qin or Governor Wei, Dr. Wang might know them, they just had dinner together at the Water Moon not long ago." Before Wang Zhi could respond, Chen Qingxuan on the side spoke slowly, actually he didn't know that Wang Zhi didn't know Lei Shuqun either, and also knew that Wang Zhi was only acquainted with Secretary Qin and Governor Wei, but at this time Chen Qingxuan had the intention of getting close to Wang Zhi, so naturally he wanted to give Wang Zhi some face, besides, even if Wang Zhi wasn't familiar with Secretary Qin and Governor Wei, just one Qichangguo was enough.

  "Secretary Qin? Governor Wei?" Hearing the names that came out of Chen Qing's mouth, Meng Changjiang suddenly felt a suffocating sensation. This time it seemed his son was doomed, and if tonight's events reached those two men's ears, he himself would be finished as district head.

  At this time, not only Meng Changjiang was moved, but also Hu Suolong's face was full of horror. He had already guessed that the young man in front of him was extraordinary, but the true energy revealed was still astonishing. Qin Shuji, who could have dinner with Provincial Governor Wei, was naturally the third-ranking official in Jiangnan, Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee Qin Lang. The young man in front of him, however, was able to make these two men accompany him at the same time... this identity, Hu Suolong really didn't dare to guess, no wonder Chen Qingxuan came to give him a flattering smile.

  "Alright, that's it. Whatever needs to be done will be done. I've also hit someone, haven't I? When we get to the police station, whatever responsibility needs to be taken will be taken." Wang Zhi said again, he seemed to understand now. Chen Qing had already completely considered himself a member of the Qi Changguo family, even if he didn't admit it himself, others would still think so. Since that's the case, then let's just use the Qi family's name for now and see what happens. Who cares about being a secretary? With Qi Changguo around, in this southern town, there shouldn't be anyone who dares not to give face."
